INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding

If the effective distance between the remote control
and remote control sensor on the receiver or the
DVD player decreases, replace the batteries. Use
two R6P (SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION
• Do not use a used battery and a new battery
together.
• Do not use different types of batteries at the
same time.
• Take out the batteries if the remote control is not
to be used for a long time. Otherwise it may
cause a leakage.
Remote control operation
When operating the remote control, point it at the
front panel of the receiver or the DVD player. If the
remote control is operated from a direction that is
extremely oblique or when there is an obstacle in
the way, signals may not be transmitted.
If the remote control sensor is exposed to a strong
light such as direct sunlight, correct operation may
not be carried out.

There is no difference between the left and right speakers.
CAUTION
• Do not short-circuit the ªand ·speaker
terminals. Doing so may damage the receiver.
• Do not connect other speakers together with the
supplied speakers. The change in impedance
may damage the receiver and the speakers.
• Improper speaker cord connection spoils the
stereo effect and sound quality.
• The supplied speakers are magnetically
shielded, but color irregularity may occur on the
TV depending on some conditions. To prevent
color irregularity, set up the speakers following
the instructions below.
1. Turn off the main power of the TV before
setting up the speakers.
2. Place the speakers enough distance from the
TV so that they do not cause color irregularity
on the TV.
3. Wait for about 30 minutes before turning on
the main power of the TV again.
NOTE
• To allow the receiver and the DVD player to emit
generated heat, leave a space of at least 1 cm
( ″ )between the receiver or the DVD player and
the speakers or other objects.

For the locations of the remote

Connections (continued)
After connecting the DVD player to the TV, select
the video signal type correctly according to the TV.
1Slide the remote control
mode selector to DVD.
2Make sure that playback stops.
(If a disc is being played back,
press 7to stop playback.)
3Press SCAN MODE.
• The current video signal type will flash.
4Press 2, 3(cursor) to select
the video signal type suitable
for the TV.
• You can select “INTERLACE” or
“PROGRESSIVE”. You can obtain better
picture quality in the “PROGRESSIVE”
mode than in the “INTERLACE” mode.
When you select “INTERLACE”, the image
is displayed alternating between half of the
scanned lines in the “PROGRESSIVE”
mode and the other half of the scanned
lines. The way of displaying the image is a
conventional video signal type.
• Select “INTERLACE” when a TV only
compatible with interlaced video signals is
connected to the DVD player.
• Select “PROGRESSIVE” when a TV
equipped with a component terminal and
compatible with progressive video signals is
connected to the DVD player. When you
select “PROGRESSIVE”, the image is
displayed with all scanned lines at the same
time. The image has a higher resolution
than that in the “INTERLACE” mode.
5Press ENTER.
• The selected video signal type is displayed
for a short time.
NOTE
• Although the picture may be distorted when you
press ENTER, this is not a malfunction of the
system.
• There are some progressive TVs and high-definition
TVs that are not fully compatible with this system,
resulting in an unnatural picture when playing back
a DVD VIDEO with progressive scanning. In this
case, change the scan mode to “INTERLACE”.
• To check the compatibility of your TV, contact your
local JVC customer service center.
• All JVC-manufactured progressive TVs and high-
definition TVs are fully compatible with this system.
• Even if the power cord of the DVD player is
disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is
interrupted, the video signal type setting is stored.
CAUTION
• Do not connect an S-video cord and a
component video cord at the same time.
Otherwise pictures may not be played back
properly.
• Connect the DVD player directly to a TV (or a
monitor) without routing through a video
cassette recorder (VCR). Otherwise picture
distortion may occur during playback.
• Connecting the DVD player to a VCR-built-in-TV
may also cause picture distortion during
playback.
• Connect the power cords after you complete the
other connections.
• The STANDBY lamps on the front panels of the
receiver and the DVD player will light up.
